When your, Truck or Motorcycle has a dead battery, there is a few things to remember.

Our Tow Truck Operator will go over all of this with you but if you decide to do it yourself here are some safely steps to remember.

When getting a jump from another car make sure both cars are turned off.

Hook the positive (red) cable to the car battery lead on the care providing the charge. Next, hook the other positive (red) cable to your car’s positive battery lead. Next, hook the negative (black) cable to the car providing the jump to the negative battery lead. Lastly, connect your negative lead to a piece of non-painted metal on your car.

Next start the car providing the Battery Boost and let it run for several moments finally try to start your car if, it doesn’t start let the charging car run for several more minutes and try again. If the car still doesn’t start, you may have more of a problem than a dead battery.

If the car does start, don’t turn the engine off! Drive your car for at least fifteen minutes.
